The Authority of Scripture

I wrote a position paper for Every Nation Churches & Ministries some time ago on the authority of Scripture. Topics briefly covered include:

• The Authority of God
• The Nature of Biblical Revelation
• The Establishment of the Biblical Canon
• The Nature of Biblical Inspiration
• Understanding Inerrancy & Infallibility
• The Dialogue of Scripture, Tradition, Reason & Experience
• The Clarity & Sufficiency of Scripture
• The Interpretation & Application of Scripture
• Existential Response To & Eschatological Purpose Of The Bible

The paper also was used as the basis for the seventeenth lesson of the course I taught on hermeneutics, which can be accessed in the upper right column of this webpage, or by clicking here.

The Omnipresence of God

God is present everywhere all the time in all his power, and yet the universe cannot contain him. At the same time his manifest presence is veiled from sinful humanity, but revealed in measures through the Holy Spirit to the humble, believing. These thoughts (God's omnipresence and his immanence) are the focus of the seventh installment in the Attributes of God series. Audio and notes are available here, or by clicking the link in the upper right column.

The Omnipotence of God

The Omnipotence of God marks the sixth installment of the Attributes of God series. After a brief consideration of God's unlimited power and ability, attention is given to seven implications of God's omnipotence as it pertains to us as humans.

The Omniscience of God

"The Omniscience of God" is the fifth teaching in the series, "The Attributes of God," and focuses on God's quality of possessing all knowledge, wisdom, and understanding, past, present, and future, both in terms of reality and potentiality.

The Immutability of God

"The Immutability of God" is the fourth teaching in the series, "The Attributes of God," and focuses on God's quality of being unchanging in his being, character, and powers. Audio and notes files can be accessed here, or by clicking the link in the upper right column of this page.
